We got quite a few New Flyers, including hybrids. I didn't see all the downtown buses, so I don't know all the buses in Atlanta. I got a few pics uploaded to the gallery. here are some of them.

And I'm surprised that my shots came out good: I thought the weather would be terrible (It was for a while) all day, but it was bright enough for me to get some decent shots. Also, if you want to see some skyscraper pics, see them here.

I knew that MARTA has some Finless Sharks, Baby Sharks (D35LFs) and Camels, but they got Beetlebombs, too? I MUST go down to the ATL!!! Edited by IkarusFan, Oct 25 2009, 11:51 AM.

Teah they have Beetlebombs; the one I saw was blue all over but I was too far away to grab a pic. So far I saw an Orion or two, NFL DE40LF, D35LF, and an MCI with Luminator signage. Thats all I saw. It sounded like the hybrids that I saw on route 60 had DD50/ZF. And the Orions sounded like SEPTA's Bricks.

Advanced Transit Fan Posts: 710 Group: Members Member #7 Joined: February 20, 2005	Actually, the RTS buses are operated by Cobb Community Transit, which, IIRC, has some express service into Atlanta, but primarily serves Cobb County. Cobb has New Flyer D40LFs as well.

Oh and MARTA is the only TA besides NJT to have the "Disco Stripes" as a part of the livery. They even have the stripes on their trains, too. (But going across on the front of the first car.)

And the Stripes are also on MARTA's bus stop signs, too. Just like NJT.

^^^ My sister needs a copy Posts: 1,647 Group: Members Member #2,659 Joined: September 22, 2008	Yeah the cutaway is not assigned to MARTA, but rather, it is a parking shuttle that serves the Airport. I have more pictures added to the gallery as well as a video of my ride on a parking shuttle El Dorado 40 foot low floor bus.

LANTA of Allentown-Easton-Bethlehem and Houston Metro have the "disco stripes" as well!
